Nothing wrong with long audio cable lengths, provided you're using balanced differential signaling. I'm not familiar with the sound card you're using, but there are pro audio PCI cards out there that provide balanced differential outputs.
Long Run From Computer to Stereo
I have Echo Layla 24/96 soundcard with analog outs. The analog outs are 1/4" outputs that are going to require a rather long run over to my stereo. That length will be approximately 35-40 feet to get it situated properly into my tube preamp. Obviously i will need to get the RCA adaptors for the preamp end. But can anyone recommend such a length of decent quality cable for such a set up? I don't expect it to be the best quality but just something decent. I don't even no where to begin looking for such an animal in 1/4" runs of that length.
Right now i am running guitar cables(which sound decent) to my studio monitors but they are only 20' long and i don't know of any cords longer then that in music stores?
Thanks!
